Evening Newbs

If only they supported Linux. Proton support out of the box is the biggest selling point for me.

60Hz has been the standard (at least in the US) since CRTs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 30Hz display.

About half of games with anticheat work on Linux: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Stellar Blade is a single player game.

This is completely incorrect. Their contract states that you can’t sell Steam keys for less elsewhere, which is entirely fair in my opinion. If your game is on multiple platforms or storefronts, you can sell it for whatever price you want there. The fact is that nobody does; they list it for the same everywhere and pocket the difference if someone buys on EGS.

If this was true, games would cost 18% less on EGS because they only take 12%. Shockingly enough, they cost the same.

Still very much WIP.

Try putting a laptop running Windows to sleep for a week and see if it has any battery left.

Because support is missing from SteamVR, existing games, or both.

There’s a Monado driver in the works already.

Nature is healing.

What? I didn’t want you to list a bunch of things off the top of your head. I asked for one factual thing, and you instead you provided a bunch of assumptions. If you can’t provide actual facts maybe just don’t state guesses like they’re true?

I stopped reading when you implied that Facebook invented pancake optics. They have been used in cameras for decades. And while I agree they’re the way forward in the future, saying they let more light in is factually incorrect: they only let about 10-15% of the light through. This page has a good overview of why that is and how they work.

Buying up game developers to make them exclusives and selling hardware at a loss to stifle competitors is the only “benefit” their money has produced. This is a net negative for VR as a whole.

Like 90% of what a modern VR headset is made of has come from their money.

Like what? I can’t think of a single invention they pioneered that’s used in their own headsets, let alone everyone else’s.

The Switch is 7 years old this month.

Got excited until I saw it was Quest only.

PinePower is another good option that’s not very expensive. 65W with 2 C ports and 1 A port for $25.

He’d rather have your data.

“Could do”? I haven’t used Windows in a decade at least, but doesn’t it have ads in the start menu now?

Just because your experience has been perfect does not mean mine and other people’s been.

That’s why I linked to ProtonDB, where the vast majority of people have a perfect experience out of the box.
